Follow up:

one possible solution for this would be to store the filename of the 
.nuv file in the database.
Determining the filename by appending channel number and begin and end 
time does enforce all kinds of restrictions which make it difficult to 
do these kinds of things.
So if we would add a seperate field that hold the actual filename we 
could easily use the filename to hold the actual time while not having 
to change the times stored in the database. The default name would of 
course still be the same it is now (but using the start time patch).
This could also be used to let people rename the .nuv files anyhing the 
want. (The name of the program for example)

If you think such a solution would work I wouldn't mind implementing it 
(I'm starting to get the hang of that particular part of the code ;-).
